Here's how you contact your representative to stop this bail-out!!

I'm passing along this information so that you can contact your representatives and let them know not to pass this bail-out! It is YOU and your
children that will be paying for this for years to come, not only in taxes, but in food, shelter, clothing, this is INFLATION!!!

To contact your Congressional Representative: (go here and put your address and it will provide you with his/her name and how to contact them.)

Here's an update on the dent we are making on sinking this theft by the FED and Wallstreet!!

We need to keep making our voices heard!

WASHINGTON — Americans’ anger is in full bloom, jumping off the screen in capital letters and exclamation points, in the e-mail in-boxes of
elected representatives in the nation’s capital.

“I am hoping Congress can find the backbone to stand on their feet and not their knees before BIG BUSINESS,” one correspondent wrote to
Representative Jim McDermott of Washington. “I’d rather leave a better world to my children — NOT A BANKRUPT NATION.

Whew! Pardon my shouting,” wrote another. Mr. McDermott is a liberal Democrat, but his e-mail messages look a lot like the ones that Representative
Candice S. Miller, a conservative Republican from Michigan, is receiving. “NO BAILOUT, I am a registered republican,” one constituent wrote. “I
will vote and campaign hard against you if we have to subsidize the very people that have sold out MY COUNTRY.” The backlash, in phone calls as
well as e-mail messages, is putting lawmakers in a quandary as they weigh what many regard as the most consequential decision of their careers:
whether to agree to President Bush’s request to spend an estimated $700 billion in taxpayer money to rescue the financial services system.

Thanks for this. I contacted my reps this morning. This bailout plan is wrong on so many levels it literally makes me feel ill. I will be so
disappointed (yet again) in Washington if they let this plan happen.

No one is happy to be put in the position we're in, but what do you think is going to happen if they don't do something? And quickly? Do you think
that there is no threat? Would you rather see it all come crashing down? Do you think we will be better off? Really?

In the long run we will be better of if this does not pass Jadette. Short term who the hell knows. It's going to be bad either way. I'd rather it
come falling down before our next election so that we don't have to wait two years to get wholesale change within our elected bodies.

It's coming down regardless, foreclosure rates will continue to increase, inflation is on the rise, unemployment is on the rise, production is
decreasing...we are in a serious recession. This Bail-Out is primarily for the bankers, and international investors, that have bought these MBS.

The U.S. wants and needs to save face in order to continue to borrow oversees, in order to subsidize our consumption. We have been a nation of
borrowers with no savings to then purchase goods and services. The FED, wants to maintain this FALSE house of cards. No longer can we borrow to
maintain our welfare warfare state.

It was a matter of time that this type of system would eventually come down. This does not mean it is the end of the U.S., what it does mean is that
we will hence forth consume less, and save more. This is a good thing, these are the roots to REAL growth and more jobs.

This recession will be painful but it is necessary, that we liquidate all of these bad investments. Liquidate in terms of the MARKET sets the price.
Currently the FED and Congress want to pass on these losses to us, instead of those that made the poor decision of investing into these risky assets.

Well, I'm glad it didn't pass. But it looks like I'm going to be voting against my Rep. anyway. The bastard (Rogers AL 3rd) voted for it so looks
like I'll be educating myself about his opponent a little better. Time to follow through on my threat to actively oppose him if he voted for it.

BILL TITLE: To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide earnings assistance and tax relief to members of the uniformed services,
volunteer firefighters, and Peace Corps volunteers, and for other purposes

I think you posted the wrong results...I am not sure though. Was this the bill that just got denied?

Messaging Service Unavailable The House of Representatives is currently experiencing an extraordinarily high amount of email traffic. The Write
Your Representative function is therefore intermittantly available. While we realize communicating to your Members of Congress is critical, we suggest
attempting to do so at a later time, when demand is not so high. System engineers are working to resolve this issue and we appreciate your
patience.

I just made the call again, and I actually talked to a living person, who sounded quite nice. She listen to what I had to say, and said she will pass
on the message to my congressman. No harm, no foul, but again I feel better to know that at least I voiced my concern. If you sit there and this
bill gets passed YOU sitting there doing nothing reading these words will be as complicit in the VOTE for this bill, as the congressman who directly
voted for it.
